Design and implementation of water environment monitoring system using GSM technology

Abstract

A dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. When the water level in the dam exceeds certain level, the dam is in danger of collapsing. To avoid this, we should constantly monitor dam water level so that dam structure does not give way under the pressure of the water. This can be done by controlling the flood gates if the water level exceeds certain limits. Also water being a scarce resource, it becomes necessary to preserve and maintain its quality. In order to do so, various water related parameters should be under constant check and evaluation. The main water pollution related parameters that need to be monitored are Temperature, Turbidity and pH. This paper explains the theoretical aspects related to the project we are doing and the details regarding the demonstration of the automation of dam gates.
